# ADR: Release process - in DevOps

## Status

accepted

## Context

We discussed how we will handle releases in cooperation with gitlab-ci.

## Decision
### Legend
* B. User:
* Z: Time passes / systems do something:
* E: Events:

### Outcome of Eventstroming: Events ordered by time

* B: is the human devops
* S: is the build / ci system

```

## Consequences

1. we implement the release process by using pyb
2. we do test & linting local
3. we do all git operations local
